Sure, Elvis was born in Tupelo, but Memphis better embodies all things Elvis. Tupelo is a pretty dull town with nothing that screams "white polyester sequin-spangled cape" like Memphis. Essence is everything.

This topic really shows the difference between "home" and "birthplace."

On a sidenote, I wonder how many people feel at "home" in the place they were born? I don't feel at home when I visit the places I grew up. Does anyone else?
